Not to detract from your point (which I wholeheartedly agree on, forretress usage NEEDS to stop), but Forretress does have a form of recovery in Pain Split, which can pressure bulkier teams due to its relatively low HP while also working against offense by virtue of Sturdy + Rapid Spin. A more...

I finally feel confident enough on this team to post it here, so here we go: :Deoxys-defense: :okidogi: :Slither Wing: :Zoroark-Hisui: :Tsareena: :Gardevoir: The main goal of the team is to punch holes in the team for an Okidogi sweep or a Zoroark-H clean, though garde and slither wing can also...

With monkey business now over, I wanna talk about some pokemon I've not seen too often laddering but I think are pretty decent: :okidogi: The big ugly cousin of Incineorar (affectionate) has seemingly been under the radar on ladder, which is wild considering how much it offers as a setup...

https://pokepast.es/a6ee122097a401b1 look, I know tier shifts happened, but I got this idea for an RU monkey themed team that I need to put here XD most sets are pretty straight forward, the only odd one being lead Infernape (in the context of RU, at least)

TR Offense (kinda?) :Slowking: :Conkeldurr: :Enamorus-therian: :slither wing: :tsareena: :zoroark-hisui: The goal of this team is to disrupt the common speed dynamics being used atm with Trick Room, giving room for strong breakers to soften the team for either Slither Wing or Zoroark-H to clean...

https://pokepast.es/85bfa7d0f40be7da so, RU is pretty fun atm, having unbanned most BLs outside jug and gyara. This team features tera normal e-speed banded entei and scarf regidrago with heavy pivot support to get them in. Quite fun :]

So, DLC is out and data is being dumped. I'm wondering if we can start talking about some of the changes to currently RU legal mons or if a new thread's gonna be created. Out of respect for anyone that wants to wait a bit to see some of the changes I'll label them as spoilers:

I personally find this meta to be quite enjoyable, maybe a bit too offensive to be considered truly "balanced", but I prefer that over metas that are too bulky, so I take it XD Given that we're getting drops in January it's hard to give suggestions tiering wise, but some mons that come to mind...

So, this team got subjected to many changes during november, reaching Ship of Theseus status XD this is how the team has evolved into something quite decent: :Tyranitar: :Tinkaton: :Talonflame: :Slither Wing: :Lycanroc-Dusk: :Vaporeon: The idea of the team is to break early with Slither wing...

I agree with the overall placements, but I have some small nitpicks with some of the placements: :Slither Wing: A- -> A I feel like this mon should be higher given how versatile it is and how it consistently puts work on every matchup. its set of tools make it really adaptable to the needs of...

There is some stuff I wish make a return/gets updated this DLC: :Pincurchin: Pincurchin @ Terrain Extender Ability: Electric Surge Tera Type: Electric EVs: 252 HP / 208 SpA / 48 SpD Quiet Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Rising Voltage - Scald - Memento - Spikes Pincurchin was a niche...

It's not a thing of being outclassed, more like "there's no place for Ice types in the tier outside of Snow. And even then it's a questionable choice". There's not really a pokemon that fills Glastier's role atm as a bulky swords dance breaker, but by virtue of being an Ice type it can't really...

Relatively small changes this month, so we basically have 15 more days with this metagame XD With that being said: :Barraskewda: With it gone, Rain teams will fall back to other physical breakers like Floatzel, but I don't think its presence's gonna be missed tbh. We still have Kilowattrel and...

After playing a bit more and finding more Hilligants on the ladder, I want to correct some of the points I've made: 1. I underestimated the move variety this mon had, even outside Tera options. I've faced several Synthesis tera water Hilligant that act as an endgame condition, which requires a...

Bonnet's not really that good right now due to the abundance of U-turn and better Grass type options being available. If you want to check for teams go to the Sample Teams thread https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sv-sample-teams-submissions-open.3717072/ I can also lend a team I've been...
